Plaster and sanding......., TH_1819 dimensions are HxWxD (125cm x 58cm x 80cm) - 49,21 inch x 22,83 inch x 31,49 inch. Weight is 80kg or 176,6 lbs without the driver.

cheers.
Thanks Epa,
this is the first time that I can compare sound of FLH to sound of TH, my two CV AB-36C are good high sensitivity but are no match <35 Hz to singel TH_1819, all are corner loaded. It is still in burning period and driver takes some time tu burn in. Some more photos.

Tapped Horn TH_1819 now I have it a little more than 14 days and has already played bass so confidently, precisely and smoothly, without any distortion and high second and third harmonics. I do not know if someone already did this in Slovenia (Tapped Horn) woofer, so it might be the first one!

No it's not the first one Nice build
Thanks SG3525,
glad to see there are some more Tapped Horn DIYers here in Slovenia
TH1819
Those are monsters alright, I like it but at 176 lbs without the driver whew! That's heavy I am still looking for a nice sounding subs and kick horn for playback, something that won't sound monotone. I have heard Danleys TH15 and they are wonderful to the ears and low distortion compared to some folded horn designs. I am currently building 4 Tuba 24's loaded with double 4 ohm BP102 for general DJ duties. But I want to build a nice TH that will reach 30Hz on cheaper 18" FaitalPro drivers 4 subs easy to build like yours but I need a kick horn on top of them for playback dance system with a Turbo TSE-111 top probably. Can these monsters be built light (120 lbs manageable with a neo 18 Faital) like 15mm BB and put lightening holes on all braces??? Those 18XL1500 are out of my budget but can break my piggy bank!

Hi,
I was looking first to build with MARINE plywood (9 ply) but the ordering time took to long so went for 18mm BB. The 9 ply marine plywood is also 18mm but very lite, so TH_1819 weight without the driver + braces + sound reflectors inside would be some 120 lbs the dimension is not so small so you need some wood as the horn path is 15 feet long. 49,21 inch high x 31,50 inch deep x 22,83 inch wide. It will reach -3dB 22 Hz and -10dB 18 Hz outdoors at 2Pi 2,83V@1m I have xo set at 110Hz so it has a lot of punch.
So can I build this with 15 mm Marine plywood if that's lighter, sound reflectors I can build with Arauco ply which all braces in my Tuba I am building are Arauco and very lightweight. Also Can I use a different Faital instead of the 1500XL. I need it to go down to 30Hz +/- 3dB indoors, plan to build 4 X 1819 subs, thanks!
